### Number of points in a lattice and an oblong box

I have a very simple question in geometry of numbers. (It is a slight modification of Counting points on the intersection of a box and a lattice .) There's a bound I can easily prove, and it's good ...

### Sampling i.i.d. variables with restrictions

General Problem: Suppose $X_1,\ldots,X_n \sim \mathbb{P}_X^{\otimes n}$ is a finite sequence of i.i.d. (real- or integer-valued) random variables. Suppose $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is a set of "...

### Automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}[x, y, z]$ over $\mathbb C[x]$

What are the automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}[x, y, z]$ fixing $\mathbb{C}[x]$? I.e. those automorphisms $\phi:\mathbb{C}[x, y, z]\to\mathbb{C}[x, y, z]$ s.t. $\phi(x) = x$. I am interested in complete ...

### Real-world example of a Banach *-algebra with a nonzero *-radical

Is there a real-world example of a Banach *-algebra with a nonzero *-radical (intersection of kernels of all *-representations)? Textbooks give examples of finite-dimensional algebras with degenerate ...

### Sections of non-reduced schemes

Let $X$ be an affine, irreducible (complex), generically reduced, scheme containing an embedded point, say at $x \in X$. Suppose further dimension of $X$ is strictly positive (can assume to be one ...

### Distribution of the direction of Gaussian random variable

Let $X$ be a complex normal random variable. (Or, equivalently, a 2D real normal.) Is it possible to say anything useful about the distribution of the phase of $X$? Is it possible to do estimation on ...

### On a particular proof of “if the sharp of every real exists and every club contains a club constructible from a real, then $\delta^1_2 = \omega_2$”

I am referring to the proof of (4) implies (1) in Theorem 3.16 of Woodin's The Axiom of Determinacy, Forcing Axioms, and the Nonstationary Ideal. His proof leverages on the fact that if the sharp of ...

### How do solutions to this quadratic congruence distribute as the number of factors grows?

This is a question that arose during a conversation with a colleague regarding Landau's fourth problem, which asks whether there are infinitely many primes of the form $n^2+1$. The Conjectured ...

### Finding a superbase in a lattice of Voronoi first kind

An $n$-dimensional lattice in $\mathbb R^n$ is said to be of Voronoi’s first kind if it there exists $n+1$ vectors $b_1,\cdots b_{n+1}$ (called the superbase) such that $\{b_1,\ldots,b_n \}$ is a ...

### G-abelian systems

Let $(\mathfrak{A},\alpha,\phi)$ be a $C^*$-dynamical system made of a unital $C^*$-algebra, a $*$-automorphism and an extremal invariant (i.e. ergodic) state. Consider the covariant GNS ...

### The first part of the Hilbert sixteenth problem for elliptic polynomials

A polynomial $P(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$ is called an elliptic polynomial if its highest homogeneous part does not vanish on $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus\{0\}$. Inspired by the first part of the Hilbert ...

### Batalin-Vilkovisky integral is invariant under infinitesimal deformation

This is the basic theorem of Batalin-Vilkovisky integral, and these are three main versions of the theorem. Articles about BV formalism almost certainly cite one of them, especially Schwarz's. However,...

### How prove this combinatorial-identities

if $n\ge 1$ be postive integers,and $x,y,z$ be any real numbers,such $x+y+z=n-1$,for any real number $a$.show that \dfrac{(-4)^n}{\binom{2x}{n}}\sum_{r+s=n,r,s\in Z}\dfrac{\binom{y}{r}\binom{y-a}{r}...
The Alexander duality Theorem is usually stated for a triangulable pair $(\mathbb S^n, Y)$ where $Y$ is a subset of the standard sphere $\mathbb S^n$. My question is: Does the duality also hold if we ...
